簡介目錄

美國發泡聚苯乙烯市場規模預計在 2025 年為 388.83 千噸,預計在 2030 年達到 441.21 千噸,預測期內(2025-2030 年)的複合年成長率為 2.56%。

美國可發性聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 市場-IMG1

由於新冠疫情 (COVID-19),美國發泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 市場遭遇挫折。全球封鎖和嚴格的政府監管導致大面積製造工廠關閉。不過,預計市場將在 2021 年復甦,並在未來幾年內大幅成長。

主要亮點

  • 短期內,國內建設活動的增加和包裝產業需求的成長是推動研究市場需求的關鍵因素。
  • 然而,環保替代品的出現預計會阻礙市場的成長。
  • 然而,發泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 產業的回收利用有望為市場帶來新的機會。
  • 預計建築業在預測期內將實現快速成長,成為研究市場中最大的終端用戶產業。

美國發泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 市場趨勢

灰色和銀色 EPS 市場佔據主導地位

  • 灰色和銀色的 EPS 在發泡體製造中極為重要,尤其是在隔熱材料。其獨特的顏色來自於聚合物基質中嵌入的微量碳或石墨。
  • 熱增強型灰色和銀色 EPS 在絕緣應用方面表現出色,並且比傳統 EPS 材料更耐用、更耐劣化。
  • 這些材料對於生產發泡板和麵板等隔熱材料至關重要。
  • 灰色 EPS 是一種創新改進,它結合了石墨來改善屈光和反射性能並提供更好的絕緣性。石墨巧妙地增強了紅外線光的屈光,使熱量更難直接散發。灰色 EPS 具有獨特的灰色至黑色、堅固的機械性能、高耐水性和增強的耐火性,可與傳統 EPS 在同一設備上進行加工。
  • 灰色 EPS 的獨特性能可將熱導率降低 20%,從而使板厚減少 20%,而不會影響性能。其應用範圍廣泛,包括外牆隔熱、屋頂系統、地基、地板隔熱、隔熱隔音、絕緣模板製造和輕質建築砌塊生產。
  • EPS 的使用可改善新舊建築的隔熱效果,有助於降低能源成本。灰色 EPS 的密度與白色 EPS 相當,但其絕緣性能卻高出 20%。
  • 這些改進的性能特點使得灰色 EPS 在美國特別有吸引力,因為在美國,住宅重建正在興起,降低維護成本是首要任務。
  • 在建築領域,灰色和銀色的 EPS 用於建築隔熱材料、屋頂和地板材料。
  • 除了建築之外,它對於包裝也是必不可少的,例如保護性包裝和緩衝材料。
  • 根據國際紙業的資料,預計 2023 年美國瓦楞包裝出口量將達到 3,910 億平方英尺,2024 年將增至 4,060 億平方英尺。
  • 靈活的包裝顯著減少了飲料和產品的浪費,並允許線上品牌重新設計其包裝以獲得卓越的電子商務體驗。
  • 根據美國商務部預測,電子商務銷售額將從2022年的1.4兆美元飆升至2023年的約1.119兆美元,年增率為7.6%。
  • 預計2024年電子商務銷售額將達到1.25兆美元,成長率約10.5%。這對美國EPS 市場來說是個好徵兆。
  • 鑑於這些動態,預測期內對灰色和銀色 EPS 的需求可能會受到影響。

建築業佔據市場主導地位

  • 發泡聚苯乙烯 (EPS) 在建設產業中至關重要,它使建築更節能、永續性且經濟實惠。
  • 美國是世界上最大的經濟體,擁有從重工業到小規模工業的多元化工業格局,並以其活躍的商業活動而聞名。
  • 美國也是建築和建設產業一個巨大的市場。根據美國人口普查局的資料,2023年美國建築價值將達到19,787億美元,比2022年的18,487億美元高出7%。然而,2023年住宅建築價值估計僅8,649億美元。
  • 預計 2023 年將允許建造 1,469,800 套住宅,比 2022 年的 1,665,100 套下降 11.7%。此外,根據美國人口普查局的資料,2023 年開工住宅數量估計為 1,413,100 套,比 2022 年的 1,552,600 套下降 9.0%(+2.5%)。
  • 預計2024年8月建築支出經季節性已調整的的年率為21,319億美元,較7月的21,339億美元略有下降0.1%(+1.2%)。不過,8 月的數字比 2023 年 8 月的 2.0474 兆美元增加了 4.1%(+1.6%)。根據美國人口普查局的資料,2024年1-8月建築支出為1.4285兆美元,較2023年同期的1.327兆美元成長7.6%(+1.2%)。
  • 鑑於建築業的這些趨勢,預測期內美國對 EPS 的需求可能會增加。

The US Expandable Polystyrene Market size is estimated at 388.83 kilotons in 2025, and is expected to reach 441.21 kilotons by 2030, at a CAGR of 2.56% during the forecast period (2025-2030).

US Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) - Market - IMG1

The United States Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) market faced setbacks due to COVID-19. Global lockdowns and stringent government regulations led to widespread shutdowns of production hubs. However, the market rebounded in 2021 and is projected to grow significantly in the upcoming years.

Key Highlights

  • Over the short term, increasing construction activities in the country and increasing demand from the packaging industry are the major factors driving the demand for the market studied.
  • However, the availability of green alternatives is expected to hinder the market's growth.
  • Nevertheless, recycling in the expandable polystyrene (EPS) industry is expected to create new opportunities for the market studied.
  • The building and construction segment is expected to account for the largest end-user industry in the market studied while registering rapid growth over the forecast period.

United States Expandable Polystyrene (EPS) Market Trends

Grey and Silver EPS Segment to Dominate the Market

  • Grey and Silver EPS are pivotal in foam production, especially for insulation materials. Their unique coloration stems from a trace amount of carbon or graphite embedded in the polymer matrix.
  • With enhanced thermal performance, Grey and Silver EPS excel in insulation applications and outlast traditional EPS materials in durability and resistance to degradation.
  • These materials are integral to producing insulation solutions like foam boards and panels.
  • Grey EPS, an innovative variant, incorporates graphite to boost its refractive and reflective properties, enhancing thermal insulation. The graphite subtly amplifies IR light refraction, making heat escape less direct. With its distinctive gray-to-black hue, robust mechanical properties, high water resistance, and enhanced fire resistance, grey EPS can be processed using the same equipment as conventional EPS.
  • Owing to its unique attributes, grey EPS achieves a 20% reduction in thermal conductivity, allowing a 20% decrease in board thickness without compromising performance. Its applications span insulating external walls, roof systems, foundations, and floors, as well as thermo-acoustic insulation, manufacturing insulated formwork, and creating lightweight building blocks.
  • EPS usage boosts insulation in both old and new buildings, aiding in power cost reductions. While it matches the density of white EPS, its isolation capability is 20% superior.
  • This enhanced performance has made grey EPS especially appealing in the United States, where there's a growing trend towards housing renovations and a focus on lower maintenance costs.
  • In construction, grey and silver EPS find applications in building insulation, roofing, and flooring.
  • Beyond construction, they're vital in packaging, serving roles in protective packaging and cushioning materials.
  • According to data from International Paper, the United States exported 391 billion square feet of corrugated packaging in 2023, with projections indicating an increase to 406 billion square feet in 2024.
  • Flexible packaging significantly curtails waste in beverages and products, enabling online brands to refresh their packaging for a superior e-commerce experience.
  • The US Department of Commerce notes that e-commerce sales jumped from USD 1.040 trillion in 2022 to approximately USD 1.119 trillion in 2023, marking a 7.6% annual growth.
  • Looking ahead, this upward trajectory is set to persist into 2024, with e-commerce sales projected to hit USD 1.25 trillion, reflecting an estimated growth rate of 10.5%. This bodes well for the EPS market in the United States.
  • Given these dynamics, the demand for grey and silver EPS is poised to be influenced during the forecast period.

Building and Construction Segment to Dominate the Market

  • In the building and construction industry, expandable polystyrene (EPS) is pivotal, enhancing energy efficiency, sustainability, and affordability in structures.
  • The United States, recognized as the world's largest economy, boasts a diverse industrial landscape, from heavy to small-scale industries, and is renowned for its vibrant commercial activities.
  • The United States is also a huge market for the building and construction industry. As per the data from the US Census Bureau, the value of construction in the United States in 2023 was USD 1,978.7 billion, 7% higher than the USD 1,848.7 billion spent in 2022. However, the residential construction in 2023 was only USD 864.9 billion.
  • In 2023, an estimated 1,469,800 housing units were authorized by building permits, 11.7 percent below the 2022 figure of 1,665,100. Moreover, an estimated 1,413,100 housing units were started in 2023, 9.0 percent (+-2.5 percent) below the 2022 figure of 1,552,600, as per the data from the US Census Bureau.
  • In August 2024, construction spending was projected at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of USD 2,131.9 billion, slightly down by 0.1% (+-1.2%) from July's USD 2,133.9 billion. This August figure, however, shows a 4.1% (+-1.6%) increase from August 2023's USD 2,047.4 billion. For the first eight months of 2024, construction spending totaled USD 1,428.5 billion, marking a 7.6% (+-1.2%) rise from the USD 1,327.0 billion during the same timeframe in 2023, as per the data from the US Census Bureau.
  • Given these trends in the construction sector, the demand for EPS in the United States is poised to rise during the forecast period.
